Yes I believe that shifter is the same as the Hurst. I had Hurst Shifters in both cars, Isabel just about forgotten the stock shifter is longer. Hurst just seems right.

I have used the short shifter by ZF Doc in both my '92 and my current '91 ZR-1 and absolutely enjoy them. The shift is a lot more positive and the aesthetics of a shorter shifter was more pleasing.

Marc Haibeck told me this:

-I like the OE shifter. The Hurst shifter shortens the throws by 25% and increases the effort by 25%. The Hurst has a solid shaft so it conducts a little transmission noise into the car. The Boudreau shifter has 25% shorter throws, 25% more effort, but retains the rubber isolator in the shaft so that it does not conduct noise. The rubber oscillator also cushions the shifts like the OE shifter."

Anyone else feel there is more noise with the Hurst?

I have lightweight flywheel and already a bit of transmission noise.

I cannot send you a PM for "security reasons". Can you send me one? Thanks.

Marc's advice is never something I'd lightly ignore.

I am not sure based on the picture; it was a long time ago and I really only saw it installed. But the Hurst was a bit shorter than the stock one and that is apparent in these photos if you look closely. The first one (#11) is stock; the second is with the Hurst installed. I remember that with the stock shifter, if I had a CD in the slot that had been ejected so it was sticking out, I would hit it with my knuckles shifting into 3rd; with the Hurst I did not hit it. --Bob

My stock shifter looks great and shifts with 2 fingers.
Does a short shifter make my Z faster?, or safer?, or more reliable?, or handle better?, or more comfortable? IMHO spend 200 bucks on performance brake pads and bias spring, or braided brake lines, or replacement brake, clutch and slave cylinders, cooling hoses, ECM chip.
Hey that?s me. I?m a practical guy.

After performance brake pads and bias spring, or braided brake lines, or replacement brake, clutch and slave cylinders, cooling hoses, ECM chip, I replaced the shifter.
